A WRETCHED FIzzLE.
Hanlon and Gaudaur Cross Oars
on the Pullman Course.
The Race Proves a Hippodrome
From Away Back.
New York Captures the Great
Left Hand Pitcher.
The Hanlon- Gaudaur Race.

PULLMAN, ILL.,, July 23.-Probably the
greatest fizzle of a boat race ever rowed in
the West was rowed here this afternoon,
in which Edward Hanlon nominally de-
feated Jacob Gaudaur. 1t had been an
nounced that the contest would be for the
championship of America and 81, 900, and
to each OF the participants a slice of the
gate receipts In addition, it was expect
ed the result would definitely decide
whether Hanlon, whom many people be-
lieved to be the worlds greatest oarsman,
had virtually closed his career. The race
settled nothing and was in no particular
a success, not even in the matter of gate
receipts. About 200 people only were
present, instead of 5000 or 10000 as was
expected. Those who stayed away had
to congratulate themselves. for the
whole affair was characterized by execra-
BILE management, to say nothing of a sus-
picion that the race itself partook of the
nature of a hippodrome.
Like the last contest between tie two
men, to-day's race was rowed under pecu-
liar conditions. Their race on Decoration
day took place in the midst of a binding
rain that prevented a close watch being
kept. To-day they rowed in the dark,
and watching of any kind wa impossible.
When Hanlon finished in front of the
grand stand Gaudaur was a quarter of a
mile away out in the middle of the lake.
No one on shore could see him, and
rumors of all kinds were prevalent. some
believing that he had been capsiz ed, while
Others thought he had given up and had
been taken aboard the press boat. Their
fears proved TO be untoundod, however,
and he soon pulled down the channel to
the boat house.
Hanlon won, time, 2O:32. The race
was rowed in the dark and Gaudaur fin
ished a quarter of a mile wide of the
course.
The race had been advertised to take
place between , and 6 o'clock and the
people began to gather-at 4 o'clock. There
was not over 200 persons, however, but
they felt the keen northwest breeze, and
those who brought overcoats were for
tunate Five, 6 and 7 O'Clock passed
and there was no sign of the contestants.
The people were by this time disguised
and tired out.
1t was nearly 8 p. m. before the COR
testants made their appearance. The
delay was ostenslbly due to a disagree
ment between the two oarsmen, Gaudaur
claiming that the articles of agreement
guaranteed him Smooth water" At
last, when everybody was famished and
disguised, Referee Hargrer declared that
he would wait no longer, and that if eau
daur did not row the race would be given
to Hanlon.

ST. LOUIS, July % "A telegram from
Dallas and San Antonio discredits the
report that the Texas cattle trail is to be
abandoned and that 10000 head of cattle
OF the way to Wyoming were yesterday
turned back at Arkansas liver. Col.
Simpson, who was reported as having
agents at the cattle growers meeting at
Denver, says his company was not repre-
sented. Mai. billiard thought the report
was intended to alarm Texas cattlemen.
He thought trail cattle were finding slow
sale, but there was plenty of grass in
Indian Territory and no necessity to turn
the herds back. From other quarters it
was generally recognized the old days
trail is over, and the only salvation is to
establish packing houses in Texas.

The Changes That Have Been
Wrought in Fifty Years.
The Jubilee Naval Review.

PORTSMOUTH, July % Portsmouth
and South Sea have been thronged for
days in anticipation Of the jubilee naval
review, fixed for this afternoon at Spit
head. The crowds we're immensely aug
mented this morning by the arrival of in
Vulnerable visitors from all parts of the
country, who came by special trains from
London and other centers. The good
positions for observing the display were
all well occupied. The weather could not
have been more favorable and there was
a bright sun and light breeze blowing.
Everybody wa in holiday attire and the
bright dresses and splendid uniforms gave
the crowded th~oroughfares a brilliant APP
p%earance. Special trains brought from
London the lords of the admiralty, mem
bers of the house of lords and commons
and numerous representatives of foreign
legations.
Minister Phelps travelled in a special
saloon coach. He was accompanied by
his wife and Mrs. Loomis. In the same
coach with the American minister were
Robt. McLane. United States minister to
France, Jabez M. l.. Curry, United
States minister to Spain; Henry White,
second secretary of the American legation
at London, and his wife; Lieut.. Chad
wick, naval attache of the American le-
cation, and Mrs. Chadwick; Lieut.. Buck
ingham, naval attache of the American
legation at Paris, and Mrs. Buckingham;
Thomas NJ. Waller, United States consul
general at London; Jos. r. Hawley and
Senator Frye. Minister Phelps and par
ty appeared to thoroughly enjoy them
selves, all being in the best of spirits.
Levi p. Morton and family were aboard a
private yacht. August Jay, second sec.
rotary OF the American legation at Paris,
Chester A. Arthur, Mrs. Frank Leslie
and MIR. Logan Root were also aboard
different crafts, Mr.. Jay, accompanied by
Mr.. Kane, being aboard the Helicon. the
rigging of which was well hidden by flags.
w. K. Vanderbilt yacht, the Alva, was
conspicuous in the marine procession to
Spithead, and was beautifully decorated
with flags.
The review was in every respect a great
success. The queens yacht steamed into
the Solent at 1912 p. m. Her majesty
stood on the bridge and was p%erceptible to
all. The yacht first passed through a line
of foreign ships and then proceeded up
and down between the various British
squadrons. The royal yacht Osborne,
with the Prince and Princess of Wales on
board, followed the queens yacht all the
day. The tour occupied three hours, and
there was no cessation of enthusiasm dur
ing the entire period.

The Changes of Fifty Years.

LONDON, July 23.-If dresses and its
appurtenances have changed since the
elevation of Queen Victoria so have
morals and manners, says the Standard
In 1887, and many years afterward, prize
fights were patronized by all classes. Dog
fights were not unknown, and "a main of
cocks" was to the last defended by Ad-
miral Rous. Badger drawing was a ia
yorite sport of the undergraduate of 1887
and later, and there were plenty of peo-
pie living who remembered, without re-
greet, when bulls were baited in public.
In 1887 hanging was common in front of
Newgate and Horsemonger jails, and
when Lord Tomnoddy and Sir Carnaby
Jinks Of the Blues are represented in the
'Ingoldsby Legends as making up a
party to see a poor wretch strangled be-
fore breakfast-and making a night of
IT in a public house in front of the scat
fold-these young gentlemen were only
doing what everybody did. Fifty years
ago almost everybody drank, and the ma
jority of people got drunk. To get tipsy
at the table was so general that it was not
regarded as disreputable, and very FREE
quently the gentlemen were so tar gone
that they prudently declined to Join the
ladies. In the "Pickwick Papers" which
describe a period not far from that dur
ing which the queen assembled the throne,
not only the elder Weller and MI. Stig-
gins got tipsy, but Mr.. Pickwick, a dis
tingufshed virtuoso, and Squire Wardle,
a country gentleman and justice of the
peace, did SC without anyone thinking
their conduct in the slightest degree Of
fensive. People sat down to heavy din
ners at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and
when 5 was fixed as the fashionable hour,
good conservatives declined to bulge. As
for 1870, 8 and $50 it required a long
struggle to bring about this change, and a
still more sever fight before huge suppers
and much punch ceased to be strict OBJ
servances. In one famous university
there was a nine tumbler club" into
which no man was eligible for admission
until he had drunk nine glasses of hot
whisky and water, and could then say
Biblical criticism with a reasonably
clear articulation. Even Lord Campbell,
though opposed to 'the habltual soaking
Of port wine or whisky punch" expresses
himself in his autobiography favor
ably toward IAN occasional BOOZE"
as having a tendency to
excite the faculties, to warm the afec-
tons, to improve the manners, and to
form the character of youth. Toasts
were still drunk at table; men took wine
with the ladies' and challenged" each
other in a manner highly conducive to
excess and the govt.
Duelling had not gone quite out in
1887, and swearing was still the ''orna-
ment" of many a gentleman converse
ton. Education was far lower then, and
morals were not, as a rule, so high The
universities we're closed to all save men of
one faith, and practically of much the
same social standing, while gambling bells
were almost openly patronized. Gretna
Green and Coldstream Bridge were public
institutions, smuggling was among the
most common of professions, while elope-
ments were more frequent than now,
and abduction had not yet become a crime
in the opinion Of a large section of Irish
society.

Now York Secures Ed. Morris.

PITTsBURG, July 23.-The reported
sale of Ed. Morris, the great left handed
pitcher, to the New York club, was con-
tirmed9his morning. The Pittsbulg club
received $1,000 for him. THE manage
ment," said President Nimick, were sat
isfed that Morris would not pitch a good
ball here on account of his convivial habits.
Since his return from the Pacific slope his
course has been one of constant disregard
of our entreaties, commands and even
fines, and we had determined some time
ago to sell him at the first chance"
He thinks Morris still capable of pitch
ing a good ball, as was demonstrated in
Yesterdays game, and that from this time
forward his work will equal any pitcher in
the league. There is a good deal of dis
appointment among patrons of the game
in this city over the release of the Cali
fornia tWirler.

THE KEARNEY TOURNAMENT.
How the AIerts Were Received at a
Second-Class Nebraska Village.

The Alert hose team returned from the
Kearney, Neb., firemen's tournament last
night empty handed. This little occur.
renee does not discourage their admirers
aud hackers, however, who still have cash
with which to emphasize the assertion
that the Alert hose team is the champion
wet test company of Wyoming and North
ern Colorado, and would consider chal-
lenges from almost any section Boosting of
rapid firemen.
All kilograms or other information pur-
ported to have been received from Kear-
ney Friday night was bogus, as tele-
graphic communication with that city was
impossible for the simple reason that a
storm had leveled the wires to the ground,
and they have not yet been repaired.
The Alerts were treated rather shabbily
by the Kearney department, which is a
new and inexperienced organization. They
left this city with the distinct understand
ing that they were to compete In a $500
free-for-all, entrance fee $50, five teams to
enter, three to start. No such event &C.
CURED, as only two teams had entered up
to the morning of July %, and the chief
of the Kearney department had tele-
graphed here on the 10Th instant that five
entries had been listed.
After the $500 race had fallen through
the misery and cautious Nebraskans ap-
preached the Cheyenne boys and unfold
ed to them a mammoth scheme. They
would show their appreciation and regard
for the Wyoming visitors by raising a
purse and generously allowing them to
compete for it upon condition that the
500 pound Nebraska jumper and feather
weight ribbon hose be used. The boys
refused to use any apparatus except the
l, 100 pound cart which they had brought
from home at the suggestion ofthe tour
nament managers. There we're three en-
tries for the race, the Kearneys, cham
pions of Nebraska, the Dorseys of Ere
mont and the Alerts. The Kearneys won
in 409 seconds, the Dorseys fouled and
received no time, and as a matter of
course the Alerts were second Their
time was 46g seconds.
The boys are thoroughly disguised over
the affair and the treatment which they
received. They unite in %pronouncing the
kearney tournament a very successful
failure, and express the belief that no
money would have been forthcoming had
the big race occurred, as the York Hook
and Ladder company, of York, Neb., re-
turned home without receiving a $500
purse which was awarded to them by the
judges. Stokes is the most indignant
man in town. He. says a section of hose
used by dem granger fellers wouldn't
make a decent necktie," and that the
pipeman carried de nozzle in his vest
pocket" He also reports that their by
drants 'ain't no bigger dan a gas pipe;
homes dey amt >
